Let me say something...if you are dependent on other teams' cast-offs you wade around in mediocrity. Look at the Redskins before this year, or the Eagles, or Cowboys, or Whoever....

Look at the Super Bowl winners over the last decade...name the bigtime free agents on the Giants, Steelers, Pack (Woodson that's it), Colts, etc. the Saints had a few but that's it. In this age of free agency you're screwed if you're building your team with players that aren't deemed worthy enough by their original team to keep around.

So all these trouble cases and has-beens aren't going to fix what's wrong here. We're in this mess because our previous coach refused to address the long-term qb situation through the draft once everyone and their mother realized TJax sucked. It is of paramount importance to develop your own talent through the draft and undrafted free agents, not a bunch of "can't miss" vets. Rebuilding sucks hard, but it has to be done the right way. We're better off than a lot of teams who have been worse than us for longer than us. I'd propose that's precisely because we have started the approach of building this team the right way from the ground up

Lastly, when teams feel they're one player away from greatness and reach for someone that they feel can help them win now you end up with Herschel Walker and no Super Bowls.

Oh yes, it's much more interesting to talk about Ponder sucking. It's not like we have so much traffic to this subreddit. I don't think that talking about suggestions for our roster is such a bad thing.

Nope no one even looks good projected in the first 2 rounds really id rather continue with the rebuilding process and pick up a FA QB to be a real backup / Possible starter is Ponder doesn't improve more and begin looking into next years draft and beyond if the need actually arises.

Depends on Ponders next 4 games. If he has more like Green Bay then I think he should go. If he improves then I say stay the course. No need drafting someone else who will take 2-3 years just to find out they can't perform in the NFL.

Yeah, I'm sure Freeman and the Bucs are still kicking themselves for signing VJax and giving their offense a passing threat. Garcon's been a huge help for RG3 when he's healthy too. Completely ignoring free agency is just as irresponsible as solely building a team from it. I think Jennings would be a huge help for this team, although we do need to save cap room to sign other players first.

Jennings is the best of the receivers that will be available, but I wouldn't want to see the Vikings spend a lot of money on him with the way that he has been getting injured lately. None of the other free agent receivers are enticing, with the exception of Cruz, but he is an RFA. My opinion is to ignore the free agent receivers and draft someone.

The only problem I have with drafting a receiver is that they most likely won't make an immediate impact. Hypothetically we might be able to sign a good WR now, and draft our other needs that tend to have a quicker learning curve. That being said, I'd prefer that we make sure we can keep Harvin and Allen first.
